Guide to Climbing Mweelrea Guide to Climbing Mweelrea A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE Mweelrea is one of the best mountains in Ireland to climb and, like with all good mountains, there are a few different routes to the top. Our very own expedition leader Louise Lawrence has all the insider knowledge, and has compiled a guide for the three best routes to the summit… Lou The highest point in Connaught, Mweelrea is a beauty of a mountain, set on the Murrisk peninsula in the gorgeous County Mayo. This coastal mountain, while a stunning spot in itself, also has some of the best views in Ireland once you get to the top. To the south, Connemara is laid out before you, from the white sand beaches to the Twelve Ben Mountains. Look north, and you’ve got Croagh Patrick and the whole sweeping coastline with the islands of Clew Bay dotted in the waters. All around you, there are the nearby ranges of the Twelve Bens and the Maumturks, too. How many other mountains can say they have a view that good? Mweelrea is also in a brilliant spot if you want to finish your hike with a dip – you can head out to the nearby Silver Strand or Glassillaun, two of the best beaches in Ireland. 3 Routes to the Summit At 814 metres high, Mweelrea is a fair old climb, so you want to make sure you’re well prepared for the trek. There are a few different ways to make your way to the summit. The classic Mweelrea horseshoe is made up of five tops, which include Ben Bury, Ben Lughmore and Mweelrea. That means you can either choose a linear, out and back route, or do the whole horseshoe as a loop. Bear in mind, this isn’t a mountain for beginners. Walkers need to be confident in their route finding, navigation skills, and their ability on mixed and difficult terrain. A good weather forecast is essential, as this great mountain is exposed to the Atlantic and susceptible to high winds, low clouds and quick changes, none of which are a walker’s friend! All three routes have a great mix of terrain, which makes for really interesting walking. Hillwalking tracks can be found on the higher slopes, but can be vague and non-existent on the lower ones. Most routes start in boggy or wet land, which becomes grassy and/or rocky. Many slopes are full of cliffs and corries, ensuring dramatic scenery. When parking, please use the car parks where possible and don’t block gateways or access along the roads. If in doubt about where to park, just ask! Most landowners are only too happy to point you in the right direction. If you have Mweelrea set in your sights, here are the three best routes to get to that incredible summit. 1 Silver Strand Route 8KM 3HRS The fastest and most straightforward way to the summit is the Silver Strand Route. It’s an 8km route that will take around three hours. The best part about this trail? It starts and ends right by Silver Strand, so you can leap into the sea as soon as you’re done. Start at the Silver Strand Car Park and walk up the road to a farmer’s track on the right (there is limited parking at the track entrance). Once you get to the end of the track, you head across the wet terrain to the steeper ground below the saddle, up the drier steeper slope, and then on to the top. You will be finding your own route up to the main ridge, but there is a small walker’s track to the summit. Retracing your route back to the start will give you a good half day walk. And as you are starting from the sea, you are able to get the full 800 metres of height gain! Bear in mind that the start of the walk is quite boggy, so do make sure that you’re wearing appropriate hiking boots and mind your footing. 2 The Ramp Route 13KM 6HRS While the Silver Strand route is by far the quickest way up the mountain, the longer routes take you by some beautiful sights and scenes. This more difficult linear route is the popular classic known as the Ramp Route. An added bonus? The trail starts at Doo Lough, a beautiful glacial lake surrounded by waterfalls. There are a small number of car parking spaces here, so you can set off from there. This is an exciting route that brings you over a few small streams to the steep back wall of Lughmore corrie, up the Ramp to Ben Bury and then on to the Mweelrea summit. Once you get to the top, simply retrace your route back down, using your best navigation skills! The Ramp is a really fun route, and works its way through narrow tracks and steep, dramatic ground. It’s around 13km, and takes about six hours to complete. 3 Mweelrea Horseshoe 17KM 7HRS This route is one of Ireland’s great classics. There are several start and finish options along the road from Delphi Resort to Doo Lough, so park wherever you can find a space. Keep in mind that you have to cross a river, and the flat lands are very grassy with lots of tufts. So be aware of your footing. You need to choose a line up the slope to the spot height of 790m, and then find your way along the narrow ridge to the three Ben Lugmores. From there, you continue on to Ben Bury, Mweelrea and down towards the East Spur and into the valley back to the road. You can continue along to the 495m Mweelrea East Spur, but I tend to come off just before then and head to the Sruhaunbunatrench River (what a great name!) Depending on your route choice, you will probably walk over 17km and gain over 1,500m in height. What a great achievement! Remember Mweelrea is not a mountain for beginners. If you’re not an experienced mountain hiker, it’s probably best to head up with an expert guide. Louise Lawrence is a qualified mountain guide and expedition leader, as well as the co-founder of Branch Out, an initiative that focuses on outdoor education.

Tell a Friend Make sure that someone knows your route, where you’ll be heading and what time you expect to be back. 3. Bring Water and Snacks Always bring a bit more water than you think you might need – sure, you might have to make a few stops in the bushes, but it’s important to be hydrated and fed for the day, to keep your energy levels up. 4. Plan for all weathers We all know what Ireland can be like – sunny one moment, then raining the next. Make sure you pack layers and waterproofs, even if the weather forecast tells you otherwise! Mweelrea can be very dangerous in low cloud and fog, so don’t climb in those conditions. 5. Charge Your Phone Make sure you’re fully juiced and ready to go. And remember, the number for Mountain Rescue is 112. .

[This is an update to the article written in February 2014]. The presence of the Mountain Ringlet (Erebia epiphron) in Ireland has been a topic of much interest to Lepidopterists for decades, partly because of the small number of specimens that are reputedly Irish. The Irish Mountain Ringlet is truly the stuff of legend and many articles have been written over the years, including the excellent summary by Chalmers-Hunt (1982). The purpose of this article is to examine all relevant literature and, in particular, the various points of view that have been expressed over the years. This article also includes images of all four surviving specimens that can lay claim to Irish provenance and some of the sites mentioned in conjunction with these specimens are shown in Figure 1.

  • The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND
    The MOUNTAINS of IRELAND PREFACE The appeal of the mountains is, to some extent, a personal and subjective thing: each of us has some particular and individual response to the beauty of the hills. To that extent, this book, which attempts a brief survey of the Irish mountains, is a personal impression. These are the features of the different groups which I myself select as their special characteristics. And with this description of the hills, I have tried to include some account of the history and geology of the mountain country, and to venture to indicate some of the meanings of the Irish place-names. Ireland is not a mountainous country in the ordinary sense of the word. Yet her small groups of mountains dominate the far more extensive plains, and are themselves true mountains and not mere hills. Each range, too, differs from all the rest, so that the Irish highlands include almost all the variations to be found in mountain scenery, from the smooth uplands of the Wicklow hills to the broken rocks of the Reeks at Killarney and the bare quartzite of the Twelve Bens. Mountaineering is still a young sport in Ireland and the hills are not as well known as they should be either to the Irish people themselves or to our visitors. And to the extent that the mountains are not known, this account of them is a signpost to the hills. D.D.O.P.M. August 1955 S L I E V E A U G H T Y Perhaps the most striking impression of these uplands, through which the Shannon has to carve its way from the levels of the Central Plain to the open sea below Limerick, is gained by sailing up from that town to Lough Derg, when the river, and its canalised section above the powerhouse at Ardnacrusha, seem to be leading one into the depths of the hills Mils which are framed by the white concrete bridges spanning the canal section, symmetrical, like a Japanese painting.

  • Connemara Trip May 2018
    Connemara trip May 2018 ‘B’ Group Leader : Andrew McKibbin Followers : Mark McGinley, Bert Rima , Marie Hoeritzauer , Joe Wilson , Noel Rice , Pam Quiery , Dermot MacDermott , Domnall McComish and Ellen Greaney. The ‘B’ Group enjoyed 3 stunning walks over the May bank holiday weekend in Connemara, gallantly led by Andrew Mc Kibbin over forest track, bare crag and tussocky grass with a little bog thrown in, in South Mayo and North west Galway. We basked in glorious sunshine on all days and consequently the vistas were tremendous . To enjoy 1 such day in Connemara is a treat but we were really blessed to have 3 in succession. On Saturday morning we eyed that day’s target , Mweelrea , from the hotel terrace ,at 8.30 its peak was masked by a thin veil of cloud but otherwise there was scarcely another cloud in the sky. Having driven around the north side of Killary, we parked at the newly renovated Delphi Adventure resort. We set off up the forest track, shortly after leaving the trees behind we took to the open hill onto the flank of Mweelrea, the terrain was grassy by times and boggy at others , as we climbed the view over the fiord below opened up to our left and over the broad glaciated valley to our right. After a steep ascent we gained the Southeast spur- Derreennawhinshin, then down to the saddle, there we lunched surrounded by flying insects which we figured were mayfly on their brief flight, could they really have made it up here out of the depths of Lough Lugaloughan 100metres below? Next it was more climbing to the summit of Mweelrea at 814m.

  • Mayo Walks County Mayo
    1 Mayo Walks Sample walks are described. The meaning and background to placenames is given. In Irish culture, these describe geology, recall folklore, record history. They can contain words surviving in Scots Gaelic. Scots and Irish Gaelic were carefully kept as one, until the Gaelic Homeland was sundered. Full appreciation of this Brief would need a Gaelic-speaking guide, interacting with the Tour Guide. County Mayo Introduction County Mayo possesses great geographical contrasts for visitors. They may enjoy a variety of experiences, with the ocean as an ever-present backdrop. Awe-inspiring cliffs of the north coast and those on the western edge of Achill Island surely provide the country's finest coastal walks. More inland, the lonely Nephin Beg Range is a world apart from the very public (and rocky) Croagh Patrick. The name, Néifinn Beag , the Lesser Nephin, derives from Nemed . He was the son of Agnoman of Scythia . He sailed to Ireland from the Caspian Sea, in 1731 BC, in the chronology of the Historian, Priest and Poet, Seathrún Cétinn . Mweelrea (Cnoc Maol Réidh – the Smooth, Bare Hill), the highest peak in the county, is challenging. Waymarked routes provide, in all, more than 200km of walks through moorland, forest, farmland, villages and towns. History The earliest settlers were Neolithic farmers. They had occupied the area by c3000 BC. Stone buildings and burial places were mostly enveloped by the subsequent spread of Blanket Bog, a factor mainly of Climate Change. Some 160 Megalithic tombs or dolmens are known. Walkers more commonly encounter forts {duns ( dún – hill fort ) or raths ( ráth – ring fort )} dating from c800 BC to 1000 AD.

  • Die Drei Ökotouren Im Westen Irlands 3 Aus Den Angegebenen Ausgaben Des Magazins „Irland Journal“: - Ökotour Connemara - Ökotour Lough Corrib - Ökotour Galway Bay
    Die drei Ökotouren im Westen Irlands 3 aus den angegebenen Ausgaben des Magazins „irland journal“: - Ökotour Connemara - Ökotour Lough Corrib - Ökotour Galway Bay Zuvor aber dieser kleine Beitrag: Nachruf aus dem irland journal 2/1995: Tony Whilde, der Autor der drei nachfolgenden Ökotouren, lebt schon seit 1995 nicht mehr. Im Alter von nur 47 Jahren erlag er Anfang Februar (1995) einem Gehirntumor. Mit ihm verliert Irland einen der eifrigsten Kämpfer für den Schutz seiner natürlichen Umwelt. Zahlreiche Artikel, Broschüren und Bücher (zuletzt: The Natural History of Connemara, 1993), seine Tätigkeit als freier Universitätsdozent und vor allem sein unermüdlicher Einsatz als Leiter des Corrib Conservation Centre in der Grafschaft Galway haben Tony weit über die Grenzen Irlands hinaus bekannt gemacht. Die Liebe zur Landschaft und zur Tier- und Pflanzenwelt am und um den Lough Corrib packte den studierten Ökologen während seiner Forschungen über die Austernfischerei in der Bucht von Galway. Nach seinem Doktortitel an der Universität von Edinburgh schlug der gebürtige Engländer Wurzeln am zweitgrößten See Irlands und eröffnete 1978 das Corrib Conservation Centre. Während andere Umweltschützer auf der populären Welle der Exotik mitschwammen, verschrieb sich Tony mit Haut und Haar der nur scheinbar unscheinbaren Natur im Westen Irlands. Ein faszinierender Mikrokosmos tut sich dort für diejenigen auf, die es vermögen, genauer hinzusehen. Und das konnte Tony fürwahr: Mit wissenschaftlicher Akribie führte er Buch über die mannigfachen Vogelarten und die Vielfalt der Pflanzenwelt. Sein ökologisches Tagebuch umfaßt Tausende von Eintragungen über Niederschlagsmengen, Temperatur und Wolkenbildung, das Wachstum der Algen oder das Brut- und Zugverhalten der Vögel. Hätte er sein Leben verlängern können, er hätte es wohl nicht zuletzt deshalb getan, um immer noch mehr zu erfahren über die Geheimnisse des Lebens um ihn herum.
